I received a letter similar to that in the mail about 8 years ago....

I got the same email today and meant to add a post to the forum about it. It's definitely a fraud - I've seen similar scams before.

I occasionally get these types of scams through e-mail. They all have the same basic story line, and most are purportedly from some deceased wealthy African businessman's family member, lawyer or associate. It is very disturbing to me that these charlatans are now using forums like ours to attempt their scams.

I'm sure that most people have seen these scams, but in case anyone has not, these types of e-mails are ALL frauds, scams, junk, garbage and trash regardless of where they are said to originate from! Delete them immediately from your e-mail and block the sender. Don't even respond, and certainly do NOT send any information or money to these con men. I wish I knew how to physically track down a few of these bottom-feeders []. ~Jim

i got that letter today too i just deleted it i didnt realize he got my email through this forum thanks for the heads up

I just deposited $6,500,000 into my bank account from this guy seems reputable to me.....................NOT!!!!
